CAS 16098-80-9
:Benzeneacetic acid, a-cyclopentyl-a-hydroxy-, ethyl ester
Description:
Benzeneacetic acid, α-cyclopentyl-α-hydroxy-, ethyl ester, with CAS number 16098-80-9, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and a cyclopentyl substituent. This compound features a benzene ring attached to a carboxylic acid moiety, which is further esterified with ethyl alcohol. The presence of the α-hydroxy group indicates that there is a hydroxyl (-OH) group adjacent to the carboxylic acid carbon, contributing to its reactivity and potential for hydrogen bonding. The cyclopentyl group adds to the compound's hydrophobic characteristics, influencing its solubility and interaction with biological systems. Typically, compounds of this nature may exhibit moderate to low solubility in water but can be more soluble in organic solvents. The structural features suggest potential applications in pharmaceuticals or as intermediates in organic synthesis, although specific biological activities or uses would require further investigation. Safety data and handling precautions should be consulted due to the potential reactivity of the functional groups present.
